I ran 45's on my nova and my corsa for a year or so, rubbed non stop and wore away all my underseal.
Went to 40's 2.5 years ago and not a single rub now, can have a full car as well.

I think Dave A can provide 90mm springs, and i'm sure he could help you out with shocks too

+ millions of pounds of research spent looking into the best type of suspension/correct height/setting

yeah, no1, they have thousands spent on suspension, the engine is a hell of a lot further down in the car in dtm and btcc cars, but you will know this already wont you, and also, theyre not driving on road surfaces like what you and the rest of us do are they?

ok, a road spec corsa with custom rear turrets and a separate coilover unit 90mm lowered would handle..

Is that what we are talking about though? No! This is springs and shocks

no better than a corsa with std turrets on coilovers lowered 90mil and worse tha a corsa on fixed rate suspension lowered around 40mil

Even then a corsa would probably still handle better at 40-50mm. I know mines did on bilstein coilovers.

why do you need custom turrets to fit coilovers to the back of a corsa cswetherston? can fit them in std turrets.
even with custom turrets theyre still bolted to the beam in the same place. a corsa needs irs to be any good.

erm..mr.wilson,
the topic was actually about tyre profile.
you changed the subject with 'oooh, mine handled best lowered 40mm'.
i was merely commenting on muppets comment of "but low = slow and a shit car to drive"
